No I'm not sure of anything, but it does look like a church, at least the section behind the fountain does. It is definitely in Brum. Dave A

Rummaging during the pandemic, I found this photo taken in Birmingham around 1964. I thought it was taken at St Phillips. However, looking at pictures on Google, I realize that it is not. It could have been St Chads...anyone? Dave A

Just the engine number followed by the shed number.. Dave A

I would have been in the field around that time.. Dave A

Just received my copy of THE GIRL FROM GUILDFORD ST. I'm not a reader but I did feel the need to check this out. Although we are a generation apart, we still shared a similar growth environment that didn't change much until the 70's. I lived quite close to you...Paddington St, just over halfway...

Did anyone know that there was a band called BIRMINGHAM? I found it on the Rarest Record Channel of Utube. Dave A

And before R&R, the blues was called Satan's music...I guess that anything that yielded influence other than the church, was considered Satanic. I have often spoke of the fact that we...(us lot) were the first generation to have our own music. Up to this point, we shared and listened to what our...

One of my faves...GRYPHON, been a fan since the early 70's. Saw them in London in 1975 Dave A

This band became GENTLE GIANT, my favorite band of all time! Dave A

Very good shots indeed! Couldn't help thinking about the terminology...Baths! The swimming facilities were also referred to as "baths", is this still the case? Since many of us back then had no indoor plumbing, the "baths" were the place to experience a weekly treat of sitting in a real tub. The...

Not sure if anyone here likes the music of Black Sabbath...but they are from Brum and Tony Iommi himself posted this UT video on Facebook. Amazing that this guy from Scotland covers every riff from their repertoire, enjoy if you can. Dave A

Never an apprentice at Ward, however, I'm quite familiar with the product. I had a Ward 3 & 4 in my shop for a few years... Dave A

Fair enough...not good to argue with friends on BHF. However, if I could recommend an instant improvement in sound quality, a DAC which (as you know) is a Digital to Analog Converter, is available in many forms and prices. A Dragonfly USB plug in will give a big difference in sound. I have the...
